Trivia

  • Dusclops and Banette are both counterparts in Ruby and Sapphire, however in Generation IV, only Dusclops gained an Template:P2.
  • According to the Pokédex Banette's cursed energy would escape from its body if its mouth came unzipped. Despite this, its fainting animation in the console battle games features it unzipping and opening its mouth.

Origin

Its appearance and habit of sticking itself with pins is highly reminiscent of voodoo dolls.

Name origin

Banette's name is a combination of bane and marionette, or perhaps 'banter', referring to the way it skips about. Its Japanese name may be a corruption of Jupiter or a reference to Geppetto, a woodcarver who built a puppet that came to life in the story of Pinocchio. It may also come from 呪縛 jubaku, curse or spell, and puppet.
